Dear authors, never apologize for telling us about your new books. People are hungry to support real art, made with the human brain, and the human heart, and typed by human hands. Please scream your work from the rooftops. You are so necessary and you deserve your flowers.

I saw a post on Threads from Beth Revis, a fellow author: "Destruction is always easier than creation. They're destroying a lot right now. Go create something good." Her words inspired me to make a bit more progress on my WIP today, and I hope they can inspire you to continue creating, too.

Week 2 of my April writing challenge was a success! The first draft is often the toughest to get through, so I'm proud of how much progress I've made in the first half of the month already 🩶 #authorsky #writinggoals #writingchallenges

First week was (mostly) a success! I can't remember the last time I got myself up to write every day for a week, so even if I fell short of the word count, I'm happy for showing up and putting in the effort anyway.

Hello #authorsky! Long time, no see. I've been in hermit mode trying to get this newest WIP done, and I've set up a fun lil challenge for myself this month. I'll drop back in to post weekly progress updates 🩶

i wonder if maybe we should stop writing post-apocalyptic fiction just until we're sure that's not where rich people are getting their ideas

Hi. It’s Hakeem Jeffries. The stock market is getting crushed, civil rights are being destroyed, our country is evolving into an autocratic monarchy, and the planet’s on fire. Find out how this happened in my new book “The ABC’s Of Democracy”, available for $13.95 on Amazon & major book retailers.

Your friendly neighborhood librarian here...buy physical copies of your favorite books, especially challenged or banned books. Preferably from small local merchants. That's all; carry on. #Read #BookSky #Resist 📚

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights

The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

Remember. It’s never: We fight for (these people) because maybe we’re more at risk if we don’t. No more Niemölling. We fight because they are coming for anyone. Every single person matters. Each and every human being’s life and safety is worth the fight.

Organize. Collaborate. Find others doing the good work. Study about others who lived through this. Build. Commune. Give. Communicate. Avoid purity tests, practice acceptance. Listen. Speak up. Stand with the vulnerable, call out the powerful. Take risks. Sacrifice.

incredible to have a president who appears to be speed-running getting impeached, and even more incredible to to have two other branches of government who are just sitting there watching it as if it is actually a livestream which they are unable to impact in any way

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT CRASH OUT. Folks are relying on you to be overstimulated, overwhelmed, & overcome so you won't resist. Take breaks, Take a breath, Be intentional with how you spend your time. Be effective with how you spend your energy. Support each other Rest, live, & fight another day.

A reminder - don't use Amazon, but go to bookshops, which play a far more vital role in promoting literacy just by simply making books more visible, and allow you to find things by chance rather than by what the algorithm decides.
